                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements at September 30, 1997,
include the accounts of  FTD Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Florists' Transworld Delivery, Inc. (collectively, the "Company" or "FTD").
These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain
all information included in the audited consolidated financial statements and
notes for the year ended June 30, 1997.   In the opinion of FTD management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
results of operations have been included (and any such adjustments are of a
normal, recurring nature, except as disclosed herein).  Due to seasonal
variations in FTD's business, operating results for the three month period
ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
might be expected for the year ended June 30, 1998.

     Certain amounts in the September 30, 1996 consolidated condensed financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 2.   Accrued Severance and Related Costs

     The following table reflects the changes to accrued severance, asset
impairment loss, and other reserves for the three month period ended September

Note 3.  Capital Transactions

     During the three month period ended September 30, 1997, pursuant to the
terms of  FTD's 1994 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, options to purchase 4,000
class A shares previously granted,

were canceled.

Note 4.  Earnings Per Share

     Primary and fully diluted earnings (loss) per common share and common
equivalent share has been computed based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding of 7,622,827 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1997 and 7,700,703 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1996

Note 5. Employee Benefit Obligations

     FTD established a new 401 (k) savings plan for all of its eligible
employees to replace certain benefits eliminated under its defined benefit
pensions plan.  Effective January 1, 1997, amendments to FTD's defined benefit
pension plan were adopted, including the elimination of the accrual of future
benefits under the plan.  As a result of these amendments, and the
corresponding remeasurement of the accumulated and projected benefit
obligations under the plan, a pre-tax pension curtailment gain of $0.3 million
was recognized in income as a reduction in selling, general and administrative
costs during the three month period ended September 30, 1997.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
          and Results of Operations 

     Except for the historical information contained in this report, certain
statements made herein are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties and are subject to important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements, including,
without limitation, the effect of economic and market conditions and the impact
of competitive activities.

     FTD generates its revenue from four principal areas of operation.
Marketplace represents FTD's wholesale distribution of hardgoods to retail
florists in North America.  FTD's Clearinghouse operation provides order
billing and collection services to both the sending and receiving florists, and
FTD receives a percentage of the sales price for the service.  Mercury Network
is FTD's proprietary telecommunications network used by florists to transmit
orders through FTD or through competing clearinghouses.  Other revenue is
derived from the 1-800-SEND-FTD direct marketing business, FTD Florists' Online
Internet site (www.ftd.com), credit card authorization and processing,
publications and FTD's Flowers After Hours order taking service.

     THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTH PERIOD
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996.

     The following is a discussion of changes in the Company's financial
condition and results of operations for the three month period ended September
30, 1997, compared with the three month period ended September 30, 1996.

     Revenue decreased by $1.6 million, or 4.3%, to $35.5 million for the three
month period ended September 30, 1997, compared to $37.1 million for the three
month period ended September 30, 1996.  This decline in revenue was primarily
the net result of decreases in Marketplace and Mercury Network revenue.

     Marketplace revenue decreased by $1.1 million, or 8.1%, to $12.5  million
for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to $13.6 million
for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.  The decrease from the
prior year was the result of the timing of several shipments which resulted in
lower sales volume of holiday products.  Marketplace revenue was 35.2% and
36.7% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

     Mercury Network revenue decreased by $.5 million, or 5.9%, to $8.0 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $8.5 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1996.  This decrease is primarily due to a decrease
in sales of Advantage Business Systems.

     The cost of goods sold and services provided decreased by $1.4 million, or
6.0%, to $22.0 million for the three month

period ended September 30, 1997 from $23.4 million for the three month period 
ended September 30, 1996.  This is primarily the result of lower cost of
goods sold  related to lower Marketplace sales discussed above.  In addition,
FTD realized cost reductions resulting from improvement in customer service
operations.  As a percent of revenue, cost of goods sold and services provided
decreased slightly to 62.0% for the three month period ended September 30, 1997,
from 63.1% for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.2 million, or
10.6%, to $10.1 for the three month period ended September 30, 1997, from $11.3
for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.  The decrease is primarily
due to FTD's lower advertising and promotional expenditures in the first of
quarter fiscal 1998 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1997, as well as
lower administrative expenses due to the Company's facility consolidation in
fiscal 1997.

     Interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 was
$3.0 as compared to $3.3 for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.
The decrease of $0.3 million resulted from a reduction in debt during the three
month period ended September 30, 1997.

     Income tax expense for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 was
$0.5 million  compared to minimal tax expense for the comparable three month
period ended September 30, 1996.  The change resulted from the increase in
taxable income (loss).

     Net income was $0.2 million for the three month period ended September 30,
1997, an improvement of $0.7 million, from a loss of $0.5 million for the three
month period ended September 30, 1996.  The change is attributable to the
factors previously discussed.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     FTD has two sources of long-term debt consisting of a bank credit
agreement and senior subordinated notes.  The bank credit agreement consists of
$45.0 million in term loans and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility,
which has not been utilized to date.  The term loans bear interest at floating
rates and are to be repaid over five years.  FTD repaid $2.2 million of the
term loans in the three month period ended  September 30, 1997.  The senior
subordinated notes consists of $60.0 million aggregate principal amount and
bear interest at 14%.  FTD funded the interest and debt repayments for the bank
debt and notes through cash flow from operations.

     The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify
the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and is developing
an implementation plan to resolve the issue. The year 2000 problem is the result
of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define
the applicable year. Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in a major system failure or miscalculations.

     The Company expects its year 2000 date conversion project to be
completed on a timely basis. During the execution of this project the Company
will incur internal staff costs as well as consulting and other expenses
related to enhancements necessary to prepare the systems for the year 2000. 
The expense of the year 2000 project as well as the related potential effect 
on the Company's earnings is not expected to have a material effect on its 
financial position or results of operations.

     For the three month period ended September 30, 1997, FTD used cash in the
amount of $6.9 million,  as compared to a $51 thousand increase in cash for the
three month period ended September 30, 1996.

     Cash used by operating activities was $4.5 million for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997, compared to cash provided by operating
activities of  $3.0 million for the three month period ended September 30,
1996.  Depreciation and amortization was $3.3 million for the 





                                      9

three month period ended September 30, 1997, and $3.6 million for the three
month period ended September 30, 1996.  The decrease in cash is primarily due
to an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable for the
period ended September 30, 1997.

     Cash used in investing activities, consisting of capital expenditures net
of disposal of assets , was $62 thousand for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997 compared to $1.4 million for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996.

     Cash used in financing activities, primarily reflecting the payment of
principal on the term loans was $2.3 million for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997 compared to $1.5 million for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company
repurchased from a former officer 30,930 shares of Class A Common Stock for
approximately $75,000.
